Financial Education
Community
Providing and supporting financial education is a major focus for Old National.
Improved financial knowledge leads to a better future for individuals and families and in turn stronger communities. Drawing upon the expertise of our associates, we have developed or partnered in the creation of several financial education programs for the communities we serve.
Real Life Finance

Other community programs
- Money Safety for Seniors - Old National’s Money $afety for Seniors course outlines how to detect, protect against and report the financial exploitation of seniors.
- 12 Steps to Financial Success - Empowers at-risk adults, specifically those incarcerated for non-violent offenses, to take control of their future and achieve financial success. The program not only empowers participants with financial knowledge, but also encourages them to empower others once they re-enter society.
- Bank On – The Bank On program provides mainstream financial services to those who would not otherwise have a banking relationship, and it equips individuals to successfully manage their accounts. Old National led the way in implementing the first Bank On program in the Midwest and has played a key role as the program has been replicated in many other communities.
- Realityapolis - Created by Old National Bank in conjunction with the Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana, Realityapolis is an interactive, hands-on game that helps middle schoolers develop financial knowledge in a FUN way!
